88 no doubt!
110 camel trophy yes very nice but it counts for nothing not being original. Thats why mine has not been as per the book cos it'll never be right.
Carpy you need to read this book by tom sheppard vehicle dependant expedition. Myself, Chris and Kai met him thanks to Chris' invitation. Camel trophy motors wer kitted for extreme terrain to be used crossing the amazon in a big group areas that have been inaccessable for months of the year. A camel 110 would be far too heavy to be ideal travelling around europe/asia/africa. A winch weighs loads plus a bull bar plus underbody protection etc if you had to make an emergancy turn at speed it won't be pleasant.
Other than looking cool it won't be much good in the desert. Heavy and underpowered take it from the expert Tom Sheppard he knows his stuff. Weight is bad news when travelling. Also think to yourself: when are you likley to need a winch when travelling? you don't drive the hard bits when you are driving across the sahara cos if you get stuck its not an AA call to get out. You drive around bad bits mabe for 10's if not 100's of miles to miss bits that could get you stuck. A winch is no good if there is nothing to attach it to. Expedition is a whole different game one which I am trying to learn with the help of Tom Sheppards book. So far Weight is bad news, organisation is everthing, comfort is a huge concern and longevity of vehicles and maintainance is paramount.
Things like covering steering joints with a plastic bag to prevent ingress of sand that will cause premature wear etc. I hate to say it but all my offroading gear is no good. If you see his vehicle jack and sand ladders you will laugh with disbelieve how crap they look but they are fit for purpose and they are indestructable, simple and will always work. take a look grab a book and have a read Jai
